Prayer meeting

We had a great meeting last night, not a lot of prayer, but its a start!!!!...it feels that the Lord really is in it, because it has happened without any words from me, i  did not have to speak about it to Mike, shows me i should leave things to God and not step in so fast!! I hope i listen to my own advice!!

Dads and prodigals

Feeling pretty good today, which maybe is not so appropriate considering my Mum died just three weeks ago!!..after the whole christmas humbug stuff i suppose it had to get better!... there was only one way to go after all! (cue song,,',the only way is up baby')...sad...
In the end it was 58 views on here, boxing day, and tuesday! Mikes fixing the car for me today, Alternator has gone, first time anything has gone wrong with the engine in TEN years, amazing....
Friday night prayer meetings restored, thank you Lord,t(he Ex seems to have given up, after six months, )...the Lord has restored my relationship with my  prodigal son, Joe,and He has restored my Dad to me after 33 years, amazing!!....Mike is back to his usual self, after only a month!!!... God is so good,what the enemy meant for bad,(loads of aggravation pre funeral), He has turned round, and turned it into blessings! Hallelujah!!!.....( like Joseph in the Bible calling his oldest son Ephraim,..' the Lord has made me fruitful in the land of my suffering' ) Praise Him!

Bah humbug

Very surprised to see that 41 people have viewed my blog today, and its only 8a.m here!!! really bemused, cant think my life would be that interesting to anyone.......
Mike insisted on spending the day alone yesterday, despite me asking him to come here,i rang him on Christmas Eve and said' what are you doing tommorow?' he said 'cleaning out the garage'!!!........he said he wanted a peaceful day!!! i really envy him, it felt like that line in that song'Ode to Billy-Joe' here yesterday,' i have been cooking all day and you hardly ate a thing'!!!..felt quite resentful at some points yesterday because i had asked for help,  buying the food and preparing it...got none of course!! then just decided its just us womens life...ah me...
I did have help from my youngest son Joe on Christmas eve, cleaning,so should not be too ungrateful!
Feel a lot like Scrooge in Dickens work, at Christmas,not the meanness but the whole Xmas Humbug,once a year the rest of the world celebates my Saviour,how? by honouring Him and getting saved ?,...no by pagan feasting and drinking too much!...bah humbug!.....
Usually something happens and i get the christmas spirit, like Scrooge,not this year though, few tears for my Brother who died on Christmas day 78,and i suppose i did lose my Mum too this month, so should not be too hard on myself!! and on others!!! so had my oldest 'N' and Joe and Darren, who was sick cos he ate too quick, a first for me!! some one sick after my cooking!....

Prayer partners and old enemies

Poor Mike,all his friends have seemed to desert him,a friend of his who he has done decorating for, taken for trips, and who he visits every day, has not visited him in two weeks,and only once when he was in hospital,the Ex,Howard, who he said he was 'very close too'was round his house 10 days ago, and when Mike asked him to do some decorating,he refused and told Mike he needed to go back'up the hospital, and get a life' He did call me his prayer partner yesterday, which was nice,i had been quite annoyed as i had offered to go and pray with him on friday last week,he had said 'maybe not'( as the Ex may come round any time), seeing as he had seen him at the churh that day and they had not spoken to each other,it was unlikely he would just turn up!!... So i had decided to talk to him about it in a few weeks, whem he was a bit better,surely prompted by the Lord,so was really pleased when he said we should have a prayer meeting even at his house! I have told him that in a few weeks when Ben goes back to friday night youth club i would like to start them again at his house!

Bombastic bullies 2, bluster, and hot air

So.. the bully has let me know because it was published in my blog, she will be taking 'further measures'!!!! no names have been mentioned!! and then the bully said the womans behaviour was 'not very christian',..the bully is a humanist-athiest,surely humanist dont support bad treatment of disabled people either,or support breaking the u.k's disabily rights act?... Well enough of bullies for now,Mike has been discharged from Mental hospital,my ex-husband's (the good one) girlfriend's grandson, born on 22nd was very ill shortly after birth, and he asked me to pray, i asked a few others to pray too, and he is off oxygen now! Praise God, glory to Him!..

Bithchy Bullies

Today i want to describe someone who has bullied and abused two disabled people,this person thinks it is o.k to stop a young disabled man of 22 from going to appointments, just because they are disabled,told the boys mum not to bring him to other appointments even though she was not able to get anyone to take care of her son.A person who ignored her own relations as kids when they spoke to her? Bullied ,harrassed two disabled people when she could not get her own way,subjected the disabled boys mother to abuse, and intimidation...Is an Executor of a will,.. but insisted the Mother of this young Man pay for a car that had been left to her other son,leaving the family without the money to pay for necessary heating.. And as they sit crouching over the faulty old heaters, they wonder if she, in her centrally heated house would treat a dog so badly? Is shouting and abuse the way to deal with Disabled people?...When this person could not get the Sons mum to agree with her wishes, she rang all their distant elderly relations to complain that the boys mum was 'suicidal and depressed'which effectively meant the Woman and her children were shunned at family events... How can you deal with people like this? Bullies?.. Can you choose to avoid them? What about if they are in your own family? how do you cope then?....If they are your neigbours?.. This Person is breaking the Law,the disability rights Law says 'disabled people should never be denied acces to services solely on their disability' should she be reported to the Police?...

Bombastic bullys 1 and stalkers

I have been thinking a lot about being bullied in the past,i dont want to have what our yankie friends call a pity party,i am more curious why its done,recently someone tried to bully me again,i let it go for a while, cos i am basically lazy,and made excuses not to be around the person, but circumstances meant i had to be around them, temporarily anyway. I have been researching,the reasons 'control freaks',are the way they are...mostly the conclusion is that they are basically very scared, insecure people who only feel safe when in control,and most of the advice is to avoid them like the plague!!!( a natural reaction)!!your mind is saying 'run, run . run!' I have been plagued with these people all my life, why are they attracted to me? even when i have chosen a friend who is diametrically opposite this when i first meet them they turn into this!!!!..it must be me!!or it could be the enemy of our souls is doing this..it has meant that i do feel scared to venture out,and make new friends,(as well as avoiding the stalker Ex) Well i will be writing more about what has been happening behind the scenes in the next week.
